Founded in Covington in 2001 by Shiloh Moates and Michael Hunley, MSH Architects was built on a simple but powerful belief: strong communities don’t happen by accident; they happen by design. While the firm has completed projects throughout the region, its greatest passion has always been serving Southeast Louisiana through thoughtful architecture and meaningful community partnerships.
“Our core mission is to serve our community by providing design advice and services to local entities as a partner in the mutual mission to make the community that we share a better place for everyone,” said Michael Hunley.
Over the past 25 years, MSH Architects has partnered with schools, educational research facilities, local governments, and nonprofit organizations, including Hope House. Beyond their professional work, the firm’s leadership also dedicates time to serving on local boards and commissions that share a common goal of strengthening the Northshore.
That same commitment to community is what led MSH Architects to Hope House.
